we are using django-contrib-comments in are project for communication between stuff and clients. Staff communication work's internally and I've made a custom email notification system which will notify you every time some other stuff member left a comment on your page.
Now the problem that I'm facing is that the user who want's to reply to a comment will only notify it's self and not the staff member who left a comment.
Email notification setup is made of two parts, first part is for the staff member who is leaving a comment and second is for the user who is replying to the comment.
Problem is how to refer to the user who all ready left a comment, I need his email, so I could add him to the recipient list so he will be notify when someone else replies to the comment.
comment.user and comment.user_email are things on which you refer on the comment model, but I can not find how to refer to user_email who's all ready left a comment when you want to reply to it, this part of the documentation explain model fields, I can understand that
user_email - The email of the user who posted the comment.
and it is perfect in the first part, but in the second it will refer to the user who is leaving a comment and that is why the other one will not be notified, so can someone please help me better understand how to refer to the user_email on which I'm replying, so I can make it work properly.
